Do not use. We engaged Arkwood as a design build contractor to extend our home and do some upgrades to the house. They never gave us a design for the works, only a 3D provisional sketch which did not reflect the actual planned works. Windows etc were compromised as a result. They refused to finish job and told us to get our own painter/decorator and landscaper to complete the work they had agreed to and had been paid for. Found issue of overcharging and charging us VAT on costs not incurred! 1 year since build started they have not fixed issues with damaged shower or leak in bathroom, have not provided the engineers certificate or provided the final account and receipts for the provisional sums. They begged us for a payment in January which resulted in us overpaying them, as they then didn't do all the work, and they have still not returned any of the money owed to us. read more
